Punjab CM in firing line of Opposition over increased cavalcade vehicles

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is yet again in the firing line of the Opposition parties, who have accused him of adopting a ‘self-contradicting stand’ surrounding the ‘VIP culture’.

Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Congress Partap Singh Bajwa said that according to information received under the Right To Information Act, there has been a rise in the convoy of vehicles of Mr. Mann since June this year. As many as 42 vehicles are attached to his convoy, which is more than former Chief Ministers including Parkash Singh Badal, Amarinder Singh and Charanjit Singh Channi.

In a statement based on the information, Mr. Bajwa said that 42 vehicles have been provided to the convoy of the Punjab Chief Minister by the State Transport Corporation.
